Tony Stewart & Kelley Earnhardt Welcome Noah Gragson Back to NASCAR: “Go Get Em Kiddo!”

Noah Gragson effectively received his second chance to start fresh in the NASCAR Cup Series after Stewart Haas Racing announced his as their new driver. His first foray with Legacy Motor Club last season as a rookie ended prematurely due to a controversial incident. But now he will make a return to the top flight of American stock car racing with Tony Stewart‘s racing team.

Starting with the 2024 season, Gragson will be driving the #10 Ford Mustang for Stewart Haas Racing. Over the last couple of months, the former LMC driver was able to work on himself and this time around he seems to be locked in to prove himself as a solid driver in the Cup series.

Racing can make you. It can also break you.

A new challenge awaits, and @NoahGragson is ready to prove himself.
